Assistance Tools for Construction Stormwater General Permits

Resources for small businesses and local governments that can help them comply with construction stormwater permits.

Stormwater runoff from construction activities can have a significant impact on water quality. As stormwater flows over a construction site, it picks up pollutants like sediment, debris, and chemicals, and deposits them in creeks, streams, rivers, lakes, etc. The Stormwater Permitting Program requires operators of construction sites that disturb one or more acres of land to obtain permit coverage.

Tools

Site Notice for Small Construction Activities — This form is required for activities that disturb one acre or more but less than five acres of land, including those activities which are part of a larger common plan of development that disturb one acre or more but less than five acres.
